Understanding a Diagnosis of Down Syndrome. There are two types of tests for Down syndrome that can be performed before your baby is born: screening tests and diagnostic tests. Prenatal screenings estimate the chance of the fetus having Down syndrome. These tests do not tell you for sure whether your fetus has Down syndrome; they only provide a probability. Diagnostic tests, on the other hand, can provide a definitive diagnosis with almost 100% accuracy. There is an extensive menu of prenatal screening tests now available for pregnant women.
Diagnostic tests that can identify Down syndrome include: 1  Amniocentesis â performed after week 15. 2  Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) â performed between the 9th and 14th week. 3  Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling (PUBS) â performed after week 18.
